Description
Gerry Mulligan - Spring In Stockholm:
Gerry Mulligan, appearing with the Night Lights band in the midst of
a scorching European tour of 1959. This superb quartet features
Gerry Mulligan on baritone sax and piano, Art Farmer on trumpet, Bill
Crow on bass and Dave Bailey on drums.
The band are at the peak of their powers, and these stunning
recordings are vital in confirming Mulligan’s band as one of the hottest
outfits of the time.
Working alongside the Swedish National Radio Archives and the
Gerry Mulligan Estate, we managed to locate the original master
tapes from inside the Sveriges Radio vault and transfer them to Kevin
Gray, who worked his usual magic in mastering and cutting, giving
these previously unreleased recordings incredible sonic scope.
The newly created cover art was designed by regular New Land
collaborators, Two To Tango, offering a superb modernist look.
Manufactured at Pallas and printed in reverse-board sleeves on
180gm vinyl, this is an important addition to any collection.
Baritone Saxophonist Gerry Mulligan was a true icon of jazz, being
one of the prominent figures in the West Coast scene through the ‘50s
all the way until his death in 1996. Voted number one musician in his
instrument by Downbeat Magazine for 42 years in a row, Mulligan was
one of the key players of his time and a figurehead who help shape
the sound of jazz to come. From periods in the Birth Of The Cool era
Miles Davis line up as well as forming a piano-less quartet with Chet
Baker, Gerry was always on the frontline of what was hip and
happening in America’s one true art form.
